Over the Edge Oct 08, 2020

Show notes

Brian and Cargill go Over the Edge to fulfill a patron request.

Freaked Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

Brian and Cargill stop at the wrong roadside attraction and get totally FREAKED.
Why was this gem buried for so long? Is this the better version of THE GREATEST SHOWMAN? When will Brian finally try flan?!

Bill and Ted's Excellent Trilogy Sep 18, 2020

Show notes

In this most triumphant extended episode, Brian and Cargill go back in time (and also return to the present) to discuss the entirety of Bill & Ted's Excellent Trilogy!
They discuss why Excellent Adventure is one of the very best time travel flicks of the 80s, how Bogus Journey broke the sequel mold, and why Face the Music is the joy injection 2020 so desperately needed. Also, the guys abuse their own time traveling abilities most heinously.
Be excellent to each other, share this episode far and wide. Party on, Junkions!

The Quick and the Dead Sep 04, 2020

Show notes

After many years on the JFC most wanted list, Brian and Cargill have finally come to judge The Quick and the Dead.
It’s the star-studded neo western that is “drenched in spaghetti.” It’s the bloodsport tournament film where almost every combatant has a fascinating secret. Also, it might just be Sam Raimi’s best film.
Don’t wait for high noon, listen and share now!

Last Action Hero: Part 3 with Special Guest Joe Lynch Aug 27, 2020

Show notes

Brian and Joe wrap up their epic dissection of Last Action Hero with a bang.
Joe tells the story of his dinner with McTiernan in Serbia, Brian explains that we are living at the start of The Fast Food wars, and the guys ponder how much it wold cost to advertise their love for LAH on the side of a space shuttle.
We hope you‘ve enjoyed our massive thesis on this wonderful flick.

Last Action Hero: Part 2 with Special Guest Joe Lynch Aug 19, 2020

Show notes

Brian and Joe jump back through the screen and put Last Action Hero even further under the microscope.
In this installment, the guys discuss passion projects. How Arnold Schwarzenegger invested so much into this movie that he even donned a schoolboy uniform and took guns out of the hands of toys?
Brian and Joe also reminisce about their respective video store days and the unbelievable specificity of the Blockbuster portrayed in the film.

Last Action Hero: Part 1 with Special Guest Joe Lynch Aug 13, 2020

Show notes

Brian is joined by director Joe Lynch for the single most insane undertaking in the history of Junkfood Cinema: a three-part, in-depth exploration of Last Action Hero.
They didn’t plan it, but the love Brian and Joe have for this unfairly maligned masterpiece of meta action filmmaking could not be contained within one hour...or two...or even three!
Grab your golden ticket and get ready to go deep beyond the fourth wall with Last Action Hero: Part 1!

The Thing Aug 06, 2020

Show notes

With the passing this summer of both Ennio Morricone and Wilfred Brimley, Brian and Cargill felt the time was right to venture to Outpost 31 and visit with The Thing.
The guys dissect the ending theories, ponder why initial reception to The Thing was so cold, and argue that this masterpiece is even more powerful in 2020 than it was in 1982!
They also manage to do battle with The Underquaker, pit The Thing against The Beastmaster, and go to the drive-in with Anthony Michael Hall?
